Sulkava Church

The white Neoclassical church rises 85 meters above sea level, featuring clean lines, symmetrical design, and geometric shapes characteristic of early 19th-century architecture.

The construction of Sulkava Church began in 1770 under architect Charles Bassi and the National Board of Public Building, reaching completion in 1822.

The church functions as a protected heritage site and serves as the central religious structure for Lutheran services in the Sulkava parish village.

Located at Kirkkotie 1, the church maintains regular worship services and stands near the Uitonvirta water body in eastern Finland.

In 2023, the ownership of this Neoclassical structure transferred from Sulkava Parish to Savonlinna Parish after 200 years of local administration.
